LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Detroit Tigers have been adding shortstops to their roster. They cut two potential shortstops Tuesday morning.

The Tigers optioned Hernan Perez to Triple-A Toledo and assigned Danny Worth to minor league camp.

That leaves the Tigers with 13 position players -- the same number they will carry on their opening day roster -- in camp.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said that does not necessarily mean that the position players are set in stone. But it appears that, barring something unforeseen happening, that rookie Tyler Collins will make the team as a backup outfielder.
